hey jadoe, i did those wall papers -- i chose those 4 since they make up the bulk of our web traffic. i'll knock out a 1920x1200 for you if i get the chance, just as soon as i get over being jealous over your imax-sized screen.

i havent used Shazam in a long time but it's worked for me before when i'm in a store or restaurant or somethin and it catches a little 5 second snippet and can tell you which song, artist, album it is..

I didn't try (or think to) on any of his other albums but for this one I was thinking maybe we were getting some stuff that's a bit more well-known....I mean, i didn't realize he was presenting Miles Davis et al to us through rare crate-dug records...I thought he might just use some classics..

I've only tried to identify the first two tracks and it's got NOTHING...

And Nobodaddy, you've never given jazz a chance, but a couple of Madlib releases were enough to turn you on to it? Sorry but I find that slightly odd.

I've been kind of a narrow-minded hip hop fan (Nas, Wu-Tang, all that stuff) for most of my music-listening life...which is maybe pretty odd

of course, the hip hop i listen to often samples Jazz and i've always loved Nina Simone, Al Green, and the other SOUL classics but I honestly never listened to any stuff from guys like Miles, Coltrane, etc.

I've been getting more and more into Madlib since first hearing Madvillainy but never thought to touch the YNQ albums or anything like that until earlier this year...and honestly I didn't like it at first. Took a few smoked-out listening sessions til I really caught on to the beautiful vibe
